The BMO EQUAL WEIGHT BANKS INDEX ETF (ZEB) has generally been viewed positively by various experts, who appreciate its exposure to well-capitalized Canadian banks that have demonstrated excellent performance and reliable dividends over the decades. While the ETF has benefited from a strong performance, with one investor noting almost a 50% gain, many experts express caution due to impending economic uncertainties, such as potential recessions and their impacts on bank performance. Experts recommend holding the ETF rather than selling, although they are hesitant to add new investments at this time due to high valuations. The sentiment leans towards long-term appreciation attributed to commodity cycles and resource sector growth, while simultaneously recognizing the challenges posed by economic conditions and real estate exposures. Overall, the consensus suggests a wait-and-see approach while acknowledging the ETF's strengths and potential future benefits.
